WTN: 1995 Scherrer Old & Mature Vines Zinfandel

by Diane (Long Island) » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:54 pm

This lady is at the top of the hill, just about ready to take that first step down, but still teetering. A Zinfandel that is bricking, with aromas of sweet red fruit and age. The palate has plenty of that fruit, a little black pepper, a lot of earthiness, and plenty of acidity. The midpalate is somewhat shallow, but the finish is haunting, and one has to admire the skillful winemaking of Fred Scherrer. When I saw Fred a couple of weeks ago, and told him I had this wine, he said drink it now. It was good advice

I expect to attend the Scherrer Open House the first weekend in August.

Lucky you. My visits to the area never coincide with this. I just ordered a bunch of wines I tasted when there, and I'm sure that is what will be poured that weekend. Have fun.

I think I've only had one Scherrer (which I enjoyed), but based on praise from you and others who I respect I need to expand that.
